We, Grundl Leadership Institut GmbH (hereinafter: "the company", "we" or "us"), take the protection of your personal data seriously and would like to take this opportunity to inform you about data protection in our company.
As part of our responsibility under data protection law, additional obligations have been imposed on us by the entry into force of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679; hereinafter: "GDPR") in order to ensure the protection of personal data of the person affected by processing (we also refer to you as the data subject hereinafter as "customer", "user", "you", "you" or "data subject").
Insofar as we decide either alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of data processing, this includes above all the obligation to inform you transparently about the type, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing (cf. Art. 13 and 14 GDPR). With this declaration (hereinafter: "data protection information"), we inform you about the way in which your personal data is processed by us.
Our data protection information has a modular structure. They consist of a general part for all processing of personal data and processing situations that apply each time a website is accessed (Part A. General) and a special part, the content of which relates only to the processing situation specified there with the designation of the respective offer or product, in particular the visit to websites described in more detail here (Part B. Visit to websites). Part B is relevant if you use our German website, including our social media presence.
(1) Definitions
Following the example of Art. 4 GDPR, this data protection notice is based on the following definitions:
A freely given and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

(3) Legal basis for data processing
In principle, any processing of personal data is prohibited by law and is only permitted if the data processing falls under one of the following justifications:
purposes is agreed;
is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller, or
controller or a third party, unless the conflicting interests or rights of the data subject prevail (in particular if the data subject is a minor).
For the processing operations we carry out, we indicate the applicable legal basis in each case below. Processing can also be based on several legal bases.
(4) Data erasure and storage duration
For the processing operations carried out by us, we indicate below how long the data is stored by us and when it is deleted or blocked. Unless an explicit storage period is specified below, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose or legal basis for storage no longer applies. Your data will generally only be stored on our servers in Germany, subject to any disclosure in accordance with the provisions in A.(6) and A.(7), but may be stored beyond the specified period in the event of an (impending) legal dispute with you or other legal proceedings or if storage is provided for by statutory provisions to which we are subject as the controller (e.g. Section 257 HGB, Section 147 AO). If the storage period prescribed by the statutory provisions expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted unless further storage by us is necessary and there is a legal basis for this.
(5) Data security
We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties (e.g. TSL encryption for our website), taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing as well as the existing risks of a data breach (including its probability and impact) for the data subject. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. We will be happy to provide you with more detailed information on request.
(6) Cooperation with processors
If we use external service providers (e.g. for IT, logistics, telecommunications, sales and marketing) to process our business transactions, they will only act in accordance with our instructions and will be contractually obliged to comply with data protection regulations within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR.
(7) Requirements for the transfer of personal data to third countries
As part of our business relationships, your personal data may be passed on or disclosed to third-party companies. These may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries. Such processing takes place exclusively to fulfill contractual and business obligations and to maintain your business relationship with us. We will inform you about the respective details of the transfer at the relevant points below. The European Commission certifies that some third countries have data protection standards comparable to the EEA standard by means of so-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/internationaltransfers/adequacy/index_en.html). However, in other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. If this is the case, we ensure that data protection is adequately guaranteed. This is possible via binding company regulations, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data, certificates or recognized codes of conduct.
(8) No automated decision-making (including profiling)
We do not intend to use personal data collected from you for automated decision-making (including profiling).
(9) No Obligation provide personal data
We do not make the conclusion of contracts with us contingent on your prior provision of personal data. As a customer, you are generally under no legal or contractual Obligation to provide us with your personal data; however, we may be unable to provide certain services, or may only be able to do so to a limited extent, if you do not provide the necessary data. Should this be the case in exceptional circumstances with regard to the products we offer as described below, you will be notified separately.
(10) Legal Obligation disclose certain data
Under certain circumstances, we may Obligation a specific legal Obligation to disclose lawfully processed personal data to third parties, in particular public authorities (Art.6(1)(c) GDPR).
(11) Your rights
You can assert your rights as a data subject with regard to your processed personal data at any time by contacting us using the contact details provided at the beginning under A.(2). You have as
affected person's right:

We process the personal data specified above in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR, the other relevant data protection regulations and only to the extent necessary.

§ 1 Scope of application
(1) These General Terms of Use apply to all contracts and order transactions concluded via our online platform or by email between us, Grundl Leadership Institut GmbH, Richard Kohler Weg 8, 78647 Trossingen, Germany ("Grundl Leadership Institut") and you as our customer. These terms of use apply regardless of whether you are a consumer, entrepreneur or merchant.

(3) The version of the Terms of Use valid at the time the contract is concluded shall apply.
(4) We do not accept deviating terms and conditions of the customer. This shall also apply if we do not expressly object to their inclusion.
§ 2 Conclusion of contract / user account / performance of contract
(1) By completing the online registration process and creating a user account, a user contract is concluded with the Grundl Leadership Institute. This contract offers the user the opportunity to receive free services on the Grundl Leadership Institute platform. The presentation of free and fee-based services is not a binding offer from the Grundl Leadership Institute. Rather, the user is given the opportunity to submit a binding offer to conclude a contract of use.
(2) The Grundl Leadership Institute has the right to downgrade, restrict or otherwise modify free services at any time and without prior notice. This also expressly applies to fee-based services made available to the user by the Grundl Leadership Institute free of charge for trial purposes (trial use). Provision for trial purposes is generally for a period of 2 weeks, unless otherwise agreed with the user. The Grundl Leadership Institute has the right to reduce, restrict or otherwise modify the services provided for trial use at any time without prior notice. Subject to the provisions in § 14, the Grundl Leadership Institute has no guarantee, compensation, maintenance or support obligations (as defined below under § 7) or availability obligations for free services. Free services do not constitute a guarantee for (future) product features of fee-based services
(3) The services available to the user as part of his subscription and the content to be provided are defined in the user contract. Statements and explanations of the Grundl Leadership Institute regarding the services in advertising materials, on websites and in the documentation are to be understood exclusively as a description of the quality and not as a guarantee or assurance of a property.
(4) If the user wishes to make use of the paid services on the Grundl Leadership Institute platform, the user submits a binding offer in this case. This is done by the user sending the order after going through the order process by activating the button "order with obligation to pay". By sending an order via our platform by clicking on the order button "order with obligation to pay", you are placing a legally binding order. You are bound to the order for a period of two (2) weeks after placing the order; your right to revoke your order in accordance with § 3 remains unaffected by this. The user will receive an order confirmation from the Grundl Leadership Institute by e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the user. This order confirmation is the acceptance of the offer by the Grundl Leadership Institute. This creates a binding contract between the user and the Grundl Leadership Institute. In this case, the contract of use consists of the order confirmation corresponding to the customer's order and these General Terms of Use.
(5) The Grundl Leadership Institute will not save the text of the contract, in particular the terms of use valid at the time of conclusion of the contract and the order confirmation submitted. The concluded contract can therefore no longer be made available to the user by the Grundl Leadership Institute.
(6) The Grundl Leadership Institute is entitled to engage subcontractors, including external software suppliers, to fulfill its contractual obligations in accordance with the order.
§ 3 Right of withdrawal
(1) If you are a consumer (i.e. a natural person who places the order for a purpose that cannot be attributed to your commercial or independent professional activity), you have a right of withdrawal in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Accordingly, the Grundl Leadership Institute reserves the right to release new versions and updates of the services, in particular changes to the design, operational procedures, technical specifications, systems, and other functions of the services.
